Interesting fact
The Butterfly coin from the Untikesken gens (Indigetes people) is interesting because it features a unique design that showcases the cultural significance of butterflies in the ancient Indigetes society. The butterfly symbolized transformation, renewal, and rebirth, which aligns with the Indigetes belief in the cyclical nature of life and death. The coin's design also highlights the artistic skills and craftsmanship of the ancient Indigetes people, who were known for their exceptional metalworking techniques.
